PlugBug World FAQs

PlugBug World includes for international snap-on plugs designed to work in major countries, such as the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Continental Europe, North America and Japan.

Will PlugBug World fit my older MacBook Power Adapter?

PlugBug World fits all current AND previous MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air Power Adapters. It even fits other Apple products like the Apple Battery Charger, Airport Express, iPad Charger and even older Apple USB Chargers - anything that uses the white removable 'duck-head' part for its power plugs - PlugBug World fits!

My MacBook already has USB ports I can use for charging. Why would I want a PlugBug World?

More Power. The iPad requires much more power than a standard USB device. Most MacBook USB ports do not charge iPad at full speed - some older MacBooks, not at all. The PlugBug provides the fastest charge possible to your iPad. At home, a slow overnight charge of your iPad from your MacBook might not be a big deal. But between flights, or in-between meetings, charging an iPad as much as you can - as fast as possible - can be a really big deal. In situations like this, PlugBug can be a life-saver.

More Ports. The newest MacBook Airs have only two USB ports. Connect a hard drive, a Wacom tablet, an Ethernet adapter, a travel mouse... We think the limited USB ports are too precious to waste charging your iPhone. Or here’s our personal pet peeve: Have you ever plugged in your $2000 MacBook Pro - just to use it to charge your iPhone? We've done that (and thought that was kind of silly) so we invented PlugBug.

More Convenience. If you have a MacBook and an iPad - you probably carry two power adapters - one for each. PlugBug combines this into one dual-charging device. One less thing to carry, one less charger to forget! And only one free outlet needed in a crowded airport or coffee shop.

To summarize, using a PlugBug vs your MacBook USB ports for charging offers more power, more free USB ports and more convenience. You could use your MacBook to charge your iOS devices in some situations, but we think PlugBug is a smarter, more elegant and simple solution. And isn’t that the same reasons we use a MacBook in the first place?

Is PlugBug World compatible with the new MagSafe 2 Power Adapter?

Yes. PlugBug World is fully compatible with the new MagSafe 2 Power Adapters included with the MacBook Pro with Retina Display and recently updated MacBook Air line (mid 2012).

Is PlugBug World compatible with iPad Air / iPad mini?

Yes, PlugBug World works great with the new iPad Air / iPad mini, and will actually charge your iPad mini faster than the included charger. How? PlugBug World packs 10 watts of power (twice as much power when compared to the included 5 watt iPad mini charger) giving you a much faster charge for your mini.

I have the original PlugBug? Is there a kit I can buy to upgrade my PlugBug to a PlugBug World?

No. Since the plug on the original PlugBug (strictly for the US, Canadian, and Japanese outlets), is not removable, it cannot be interchanged with the international plugs of PlugBug World.
